    I wholeheartedly agree. I will bow to better judgement of those more
    in the know than I - which quite frankly is most everyone on Orchid!
    But to me the whole idea of plating reeks of cheapness. Gold plated
    and silver plated articles are at the cheaper end of the jewellery
    scale and that's how I see rhodium plated white gold. I am open to
    different views however.
